ABOUT

TP IS A HARDCORE STRAIGHT EDGE COLLECTIVE
If you stumbled on this page, chances are you know us already. But if not, it’s only fair you should want to know something about us.
Well, here goes.

We’re out to spread some positive messages in the scene. We believe in friendship, honesty, kindness, DIY, supporting our scene and not compromising our principles while also keeping our minds and hearts always open. We believe in mutual support and solidarity between bands and activist collectives. Hardcore is not just music! Hardcore is about commitment, about being involved and working actively to build a better world, changing ourselves to change what we don’t like around us.

We promote a positive, drug-free, cruelty-free lifestyle, with the belief that in a world completely dependent on intoxication, sXe is a weapon of political resistance. *

We are committed to supporting our local scene and helping it grow by organizing shows, helping out touring bands, and helping out when our friends from other musical and political collectives put on shows and events.

We are working on a HC fanzine, interviewing bands and getting in touch with hardcore kids from several cities and countries in order to learn from them and grow with them.

We also run a small DIY clothing distro. We like for our clothes to reflect who we are, what we think and what we stand for. And we think there are not enough t-shirts out there which bear the messages we want to send and which are, at the same time, just like we’d like them to be; so we thought we’d make some ourselves.
Of course it helps that one of us studied graphics and printing, and that we have incredibly good taste…ehem. ^__^

The printing is handmade because DIY rules, but you can wash them in the washing machine after a night in the pit and they’ll come out as good as ever, only cleaner and smelling better.

We don’t want and we are not trying to make money from this.Whatever profit, if any, comes out of it will be used for making more shirts and supporting our projects. There’s no lucre in this. Commercial mentality should stay out of Hardcore, always!

Even though days are short and time is never enough, we have other projects too! Some of us play in a band, in-your-face HC 90s style with political lyrics, check us out: Falsos Positivos. You can even download our albums for free. One of us loves to write and made a zine: Comets & Anchors, and sometimes helps out with producing and distributing great music by herself or by helping out European label Goodwill Records. And recently, we have started another common project, a modern hardcore band called Over My Fears. You can listen to our first demo here.
